Hi users of Mandrake. I just want to share some information on the steps to add some new boot themes in the;
[ Mandrake Control Center / Boot / Boot Themes ]
If you don't have any boot theme, you can go
here
and download any source rpm from the mirror of your predilection. You need root priviledges to install the RPM. Ones you finish installing the tar.bz2 file go to this directory;
[ /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES/Bootsplash-themes-2.0.0/ ]
This is where all the boot themes are going to be located.
Now we're going to accomodate the files in there respected locations:
1) Login as a root and open konqueror or the file manager of your predilection.
2) Select the themes you want to include in MDK Control Center
3) Copy them in this directory;
[ /usr/share/bootsplash/themes/ ]
4) Go to all the themes folders you just add and erase the folder "config"
5) Now, ones again copy all the themes you selected previously in this directory;
[ /etc/bootsplash/themes/ ]
6) Go to all the themes folders you just add and erase the folder "images" and "lilo"
Now when you go to MDK Control Center / Boot / Boot Themes, you are going to see a drop down window with the name of all the themes you add previously. Just select one and Mandrake will do the rest for you. Enjoy...
Javi
